We are moving to Thailand end of November start of December then i want to apply for a NON-O visa.

I'm over 50 and married to a Thai wife and we have a house in Don Muang yet i'm not yet registered at this address.

So i asked the Dutch Embassy for Visa Support Letter for registration and my question is can i use

this letter as affidavit of proof of income as this visa support letter will state my nationality and my income and that way i not need to deposit 800K THB.

thanks for any advice in advance

I get confused in my search, for the perfect visa, to be almost constantly in my preferred Thailand.

Some websites say.

800.000 in the bank AND 65.000 income?

Other say.

800.000 in the bank OR 65.000 income?

My problem is.

I have sufficient money in my Belgian bank. But it's all invested. It gets free to use in almost 2 years.

If I would take it out now. I would lose a lot of money. And I would lose money again, by exchanging it to Thai bath and wiring it to a Thai bank. But if a monthly income of 65.000 THB (1735€ at this moment) is sufficient. Then I can apply for the retirement visa.

.

* I am 64. So that's over 50.

* I have a valid foreign (Belgium) passport.

* I can easily find a residence in Thailand and presenting a 6-month lease (I can rent in the hotel I always stay)

* Because my monthly income before taxes is over 65.000 THB it should be easy to get the letter from the embassy proving of sufficient income.

* The “Police Clearance Certificate” I guess, is a certificate of Belgium police of no criminal record. So that’s also no problem.

* Medical certificate. I guess it’s medical certificate of having non contagious illness. Also no problem to get.

* Proof of health insurance Thailand. I don’t know if my Belgium health insurance is sufficient. If not I can always get one specially for Thailand.

.

So my one and only problem is.

What is required?

800.000 ‘AND’ 65.000

or

is it 800.000 ‘OR’ 65.000?

I obtained my initial 90 day non o retirement visa based on an income affidavit from the Canadian consulate on Friday in Chiang Mai. The officer told me to return in 60 days to do my one year extension. She said nothing about transferring 65000 each month. Is the transfer required? And is the transfer every 30 days or each calendar month? Since there is only one week left in June

can I get a non-0 retirement Visa based on 80000baht income, monthly?

thank you

Is anyone aware of being able to get a non imm o visa based on marriage without having to have 400,000 thb in their account? I transfer money every month into my Thai account so I’m hoping to use this method.

Thanks for any help 🙏

Hello friends,

I am back in France, working on getting my Non O so I can return to Thailand and get my ‘retirement visa’.

Unfortunately the Thai Embassy in Paris takes a very long time to issue visas so, hypothetically: if I don’t get the Non O in time for my flight, can I enter on Visa Exempt and then when the Non O arrives by email, can I ‘validate it’ without having to return all the way to France? Would this be risky or unadvisable in any way?

Thanks for your precious advice! Have a nice night (or day if you read this tomorrow).

Kay

P.s. It’s freezing here in France, 8 degrees Celsius! That’s really cold for this season, even for the Alps where I live. Having said that, I don’t miss the 42 degrees in Thailand in April! Wicked! I had never experienced heat so intense. Thank God for AC ☺️

Did I make a mistake applying for 1st time Non O in country based on 12 x foreign monthly transfers 65k+ to my Thai a/c. I was declined today at HH immigration, they advised can only use this method for Non O extensions/renewals? I re - entered in Sept on a 60 day Toutist Visa as I wished to change from my previous Non O-A. I provided all bank statements, bank letter, credit white I think they call it etc.

TIT I think.Just applied at Samut Songkhram IO for 90 day visa(non O retirement).All documents were ok accept that they dont accept the legalised affidavit from the Belgium Embassy(I am Belgium nationality).They said they only accept a certificate of income like the Swiss Embassy give you.Letters from the bank with my last 2 deposits from abroad(my pension)+65000 Bath monthly were also with my documents.What can I do before I book a return trip to Savannaket?????Anyone have suggestions?

I need some advice about a retirement visa.

I am currently living in Thailand on a B visa and am shortly to apply for an O visa so that I can apply for a retirement visa. When I apply for the retirement visa, I will have the required monthly income of 65K coming into my account for the previous 12 months. I can get a statement from my Thai bank showing this plus a letter from them. Here’s my question: some people have told me that in addition to these proofs of income I will require a signed affidavit from my embassy stating what my income in my home country is e.g. pension or other source. Is this correct? My problem is that my embassy seem unwilling to provide this.

I believe that when your applying for a non-O retirement visa in Thailand that they want except a combination of pension and funds in a Thai bank account to equal 800k.

Would appreciate any feedback back on this .
